Gear oil sump
Wind turbines with a diameter of 70 m are no rarity these days. Whether in the sea, on level plains or on the hills of low mountain ranges, these giants are popping up almost everywhere. The large investments required for these plants are only worthwhile when the internal power generating equipment has a high availability and a long service life. Lubrication of all moving parts is one of the most important functions in the generator housing. If it fails, the service life can be considerably reduced, and with it, the profitability of the entire system.
Dry run protection with VEGASWING 51
The great weight of the rotor places heavy demands on all components of the bearings and gear train assembly. Dry run or even inadequate oil lubrication of the gear mechanism would have catastrophic effects on the service life of the entire system. VEGASWING 51 offers a cost-effective way to safeguard the system from dry run damage. With its only 40 mm long tuning fork, the instrument fits into any oil container, regardless of what design. Its exact switching function is millimetre precise and ensures lasting, maintenance- free operation of the wind power plants.
